Asynchronous Course: Essential Strategies for Teaching Students with Learning Disabilities to Think Mathematically
Click here for more information and to register for this 30-hour asynchronous course that provides teachers with five research-based strategies to help students with learning disabilities think and reason mathematically. Participants will leave:
o Understanding what it looks like when students reason mathematically—quantitatively, structurally, and through repetition.
o Knowing five essential strategies to engage students, support their development of mathematical thinking, and develop independence.
o Ready to support each and every learner to develop as mathematicians.

This task was a fantastic entry point for a fourth grade class for this routine. Students felt comfortable with the numbers, and were able to then focus on the routine and the visual representations. We had a fantastic discussion about what the third visual model would be, and students loved the routine! A great start!
